MI First post! Im happy to be of help and to be helped...

Hello you rotards! Im Edgey, Ive been a rotary fan since i could drive. My first car was a 1986 RX7 TII. Since then i have owned 8 RX7s and 2 RX8s. Most of my RX7s were S5s and only one was LS swapped way back in the day. Funny story about the FC, I bought it right before i deployed to Iraq in 2005. It was a 1991 TII, 5 speed, red and i got it at a vehicle auction. It sat the whole 17 months i was in Iraq. I was able to continually purchase parts and have them delivered to my dads house. I ended up doing a 5.7 LS1 swap in it, back then it was not as popular as it is now. Long story short, got home, my dad and i built it and drove it for quite some time. But years have passed since my last rotary powered car. I was feeling the itch, so I recently bought a 2004 one owner 96k mile RX8. Bought it at an estate sale, for $1500.00. The old man, who had passed away, bought the RX8 new. He only drove it on the weekends, and it spent its life under a cover in a pole barn. When i bought it, i actually drove it home. It was in need of a rebuild. So the journey began.

I’m liking the name of your shop. Look forward to more instalments of your engine/car refresh.

Welcome fellow vet, Sailor here. I probably moved supplies for you. I promise I did not spit in your burger.
